NEWS STORY : Ukraine Strengthens its Position in Russia

STORY

Ukraine’s incursion into Russian territory continues in an attempt to bring Putin’s Government to the negotiating table in a bid for peace. The surprise Ukrainian attack on Russia nearly two weeks ago, which their Government have been unable to successfully defend, has seen the Ukrainian forces take a foothold as they today destroyed two key bridges the Russians used for their supply lines. The Russian Government had said that they would take firm action to remove the Ukrainians, but their efforts have met with little success and further evacuations of Russian civilians have since taken place. Putin’s Government has been attempting to downplay the first invasion onto Russia soil since the Second World in an attempt to avoid panic, with analysts expecting troops to be moved from the Ukrainian front in a bid to liberate the occupied territories in Russia.
